[ccp4bb] NECAT Beamtime availabile for MX in February

[Salbego, Cyndi]

BEAM TIME AVAILABLE FOR MACROMOLECULAR CRYSTALLOGRAPHY AT THE TWO ID BEAMLINES 
OF NE-CAT AT APS.

We currently have a number of days open in February.  Below is a brief 
description of our beam lines, and links with more information.


The 24-ID-C beamline can deliver X-rays in the range of 6 to 18 keV or ~2.1 to 
0.69 Å. This covers most of the popular elemental edges for phasing. This wide 
energy-range also makes the beamline well suited for ultra high-resolution data 
collection and soft X-ray sulfur SAD phasing. The beamline is equipped with an 
optional kappa goniometer for optimal alignment of crystals. A Pixel Array 
Detector (PAD), Pilatus-6MF, installed on the 24-ID-C beamline helps measure 
very weak Bragg reflection intensities due to its noise-less readout technology 
and also provides a very fast data collection capability in shutter-less data 
collection mode.


The 24-ID-E beamline is a fixed energy microdiffraction beamline delivering 
X-rays at 12.66 keV, optimized for Se-SAD experiments. It is equipped with an 
Eiger-16M Pixel Array Detector, offering advantages similar to those of the 
Pilatus-6MF.

For more information on our beamlines (beamline and robot manuals):
